updates on the Linux Mom project

woot, got the printer working (whoever wrote that particular article on the wiki linked to a bad PAP backend), after HOURS of futzing with the URI and trying to figure out why cups was telling me the pap backend was failing on the same URI it gave me to use. Finally I started digging through the errors log for cups and found a bunch of these:

E [29/Feb/2008:15:05:58 -0500] [cups-deviced] Bad line from "pap": -e network pap://%2a/Arwen%20Dickerson/LaserWriter "Unknown" "Arwen Dickerson@* (pap)"

google had nothing on "Bad line from "pap" errors, so I figured the PAP backend recommended by the Ubuntu wiki and various other sources was likely borked, and spent a while googling around until I found this

Mom is rapidly adjusting to thunderbird + firefox vs mail.app + safari, and Rhythmbox continues to be a hit.
